10 Ways to Wish Her “Happy Mother’s Day”!

Updated on May 5, 2026

You love her all year long—not just on that one Sunday—but maybe you don’t show it as often as you’d like… Here’s your chance to make it up to her, and then some!


Celebrating Her Passions

Creative, a great cook, or passionate about gardening—your mom deserves a gift that reflects who she is. In the Eastern Townships, unique workshops offer the perfect opportunity to treat her to a moment designed just for her. A beautiful way to say, “I know you by heart.” For hands-on creators, workshops at the Centre d'art Rozynski are sure to inspire. Moms who love experimenting in the kitchen will enjoy the collaborative workshops launched this year at Les Jardins Bolton. And for those who can’t get enough of plants, there’s plenty to learn in the many summer activities offered by Herbes Orford.

A Signature Scent, Just for Her

In Magog, the sensory experience created by La Grange du parfumeur – Maison du parfum is perfect for sharing a moment filled with memories. Open on Thursdays and Saturdays, it invites you to discover the creations of Alexandra Bachand—the “nose” behind the perfumery—and let your emotions unfold through scent. You can also order the Discovery Set online and enjoy the experience at home.


A Spa Day Together

Who doesn’t need a little pampering these days? In the Eastern Townships, a variety of spas—each with its own personality—offer the perfect escape. Try Strøm spa nordique, Spa Bolton along the Missisquoi River, or Spa Eastman, which also offers accommodations—ideal for a mother-daughter getaway.

Creating Meaningful Connections

What if this Mother’s Day became a chance to connect in a different way? At Effet Cheval, an experience with horses invites you to reconnect—with yourself and with others. Each session explores themes ranging from self-discovery to communication and relationship dynamics.

For a more classic (but still magical) option, a horseback ride is always a wonderful surprise for horse-loving moms.
